Known for her paintings on copper she is drawn to places that are inspired by the sublime, the epic and the overwhelming. Her work is concerned with depicting movement and stillness, presence and absence. The paintings are derived from photographs taken in the landscape. While there is a strong photographic element they are not depictions of the photographs; but evolve through the process of painting to create a narrative that is beautiful, but at the same time unsettling. Working in oil on unprimed copper, this lustrous support glows through the layers of paint to create light and atmosphere. The connection with the history of painting through the use of traditional techniques is important, and her narratives develop this with contemporary critique.
